How we do itOur business is more than making videos, online programs and providing interactive solutions. We get involved in the companies we work with and understand their values, their business, the way they operate, and their people.

We want to explore new ways of helping organisations deliver their business objectives and achieve their safety goals.

We also believe that ideas come from working with people on the ground. They provide a keen insight into how to develop and deliver key messages about safety, theenvironment and health issues. They are the ultimate users.

customer was ETSA in 1990, and they are still with us today.

Santos followed in 1992 and we are proud to say they are still an integral part of our business.

A number of other customers are still part of our portfolio after 15 years including the Dept. of Transport, Planning and Infrastructure and SA Health.

High-risk environmentsWe are very familiar with the challenges of working in high-risk environments such as oil and gas processing facilities,

substations and generating plants, and ore processing facilities. These challenges are compounded in remote areas where hazards posed by distance, fatigue, heat and isolation also need to be considered.

Our safety systems and those of our customers in these areas are instrumental in keeping our people and their people safe from harm.

Competency-based and interactive training and inductionsAs well as making creative and innovative promotional material for our customers, Whitham Media has built an enviable reputation for developing high-end training and induction programs for the online environment, and DVD.

CD-ROM in the mid 90s for both Torrens Island and Port Augusta Power Stations.

We subsequently produced CD-ROM based programs for WorkCover, Dept. of Transport, Collins Transport and the South Australian Road Transport Association to name a few.

Since then Whitham Media has developed an online Learning Management System (LMS), which has provided

our customers.

The key features of our LMS include:

no limit to the number of courses within the systemself-paced learning and induction either at home or the

time for trainers and facilitatorshigh quality video content that explains in a literal and visual sense, step by step processes, procedures, rules, regulations and conveys other critical informationregular assessments during each course with either a 100 per cent pass rate or pre-determined pass rate depending on the course

satisfactory completion of each course.

Competency-based and interactive training and inductions: the back-endThe strength of our LMS lies in the back-end administration of the system. For example:

the personal details of each user are recorded for HR purposes and company referencethe details of each user’s progress through every course is recorded to assist trainers to identify any potential shortfall the user may have in understanding or comprehending individual topics

by email when they need to do additional inductions or courses, or if their inductions or course currency has expiredthe system facilitates the mass import or export of users’ details

company induction and training database.

How it works in the real worldOnce users details such as name, ID number, course details and email address are imported to the LMS, the system automatically generates an email to the user.

The email contains important information about what courses users are required to do and an embedded email link which will take them to the induction site.

Users will only need to enter

Our HSEC systemsIt’s fair to say that we have learnt plenty over the years about health, safety, the environment and interacting with various communities throughout the country.

As a result we have adopted and adapted many of the HSEC systems and policies of our customers to best suit our operating environments.

Those systems enable us to work safely in high-risk environments, often unsupervised. For example, as a result of our long-term relationship, our approach to safety and understanding of their various systems, Santos allows us to travel between, and work in, their production facilities without supervision.

Our crews are familiar with and use the Stepback approach

process.

We have an unwavering commitment to Zero Harm for our people, for the employees of our customers, the public and the environment. A more detailed outline of our HSEC policy is provided as a separate document.
